Does any body have any experience with this revolver? I've decided my next purchase will be a .41 mag Blackhawk. I'm having trouble deciding between the 4 5/8" bbl and the 6 1/2" bbl. Any advantages to one over the other? Is one more accurate? Is much velocity lost in the shorter bbl?
I intend to use it for hunting deer and plinking. I'm leaning towards the 4 5/8" bbl. Is this the best for the intended purpose?
Thanks,
John
